Famous quotes containing the words original and/or face:

    “We are obliged to regard many of our original minds as crazy at least until we have become as clever as they are.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “I saw my lady weep,
    And Sorrow proud to be advanced so
    In those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
    Her face was full of woe;

    But such a woe, believe me, as wins more hearts
    Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts.”
    —Unknown. I Saw My Lady Weep (l. 1–6)
